A car containing 3 people being chased by Independence police crashed on eastbound I-70 between Lee's Summit Road and I-470/M-291 about 3:25 pm Sunday afternoon.
The pursued car lost control- vaulted over a guardrail and rolled down an embankment on the south side of I-70 near the Bass Pro Shop complex.
At least 2 of the reported 3 occupants were ejected from the car during the crash.
One male about 20-years-old had very critical life-threatening injuries.
Another young male had serious to critical injuries and the 3rd male's injuries were non life-threatening.
So far- don't know why the IPD was chasing the vehicle or how fast they were going when the crash occurred.
